Long Live The Hokage

Masahiko and Mifune stared at each other for a long time, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

The samurai's concentration is indeed very strong, but Masahiko is not willing to admit defeat.

"It's a disadvantage for me to keep staring at me like this. Mifune looks too ugly, and it makes me uncomfortable to watch. But he just enjoys staring at me..." Masahiko said inwardly, "Looks like I have to find a way."

Masahiko pondered for a moment, his right hand quietly condensed wind attribute chakra, his fingertips formed a weak wind rotation, flicked his fingers, a gust of wind blew towards Mifune's eyes...

Mifune was able to react unexpectedly, turned his head to dodge, and took advantage of the situation to support the handle of the knife with his right hand.

"You blinked!"

Mifune:? ? ?

Masahiko showed a little smile, and then quickly suppressed it, his expression finally became serious. After the nonsense is over, it's time to get down to business.

"Let's talk about it, what is it that both people and gods are angry about, even I dare to doubt it?"

Mifune gradually lowered his right hand from the hilt of the saber, and pondered slightly: "I'm sorry, senior. It's absolutely impossible for senior to do this, but the timing of your appearance is too coincidental. Please follow me."

Masahiko nodded, and followed Mifune with the three children into his general's mansion.

Mifune rummaged for a while, took out a folded map, and unfolded it in front of Masahiko.

"This is a map near the Iron Country. I don't know which way the senior came from."

"The Land of Earth."

Mifune nodded: "That's true. If you set off from the country of the vortex, you may be able to save the innocent people in the other country along the way."

"Huh?" Masahiko frowned, searched for a moment on the map, and found a country marked with a red cross, "The other country was destroyed?"

Sanchuan sighed: "The news came yesterday that the other country is completely destroyed."

Masahiko was startled: "All destroyed?"

Mifune nodded, indicating that it was true.

"Hey, Great Elder, what does it mean to be completely wiped out? It can't be..." Xiang Lin's face was a little ugly.

"Ah, that's what you think." Masahiko took a deep breath.

Complete annihilation means that the country is not annexed by other countries,

Instead, he was slaughtered by everyone from daimyo to the most ordinary civilian.

This is not something that can be done by an attack between countries, it is definitely done by ninjas. But even in the Warring States period, very few people would do such a thankless thing. What kind of hatred?

After pausing for a moment, Mifune continued: "According to the information, there are ninjas who released large-scale ninjutsu in the other country. I have asked Chongsuke to lead a team to investigate. It is estimated that they will be able to return tomorrow morning. Maybe There are still places where seniors need help."

"Large-scale ninjutsu? It is true that there are not many ninjas who can destroy the country, but they are not too few."

Although the other country is called a country, it is actually not as big as Konoha Village, and it is just an inconspicuous dot on the map. There are many small countries like this near the Iron Country, all of which belong to the subsidiary category of the Iron Country and are protected by warriors, and there are very few ninjas in the country.

In today's ninja world, there are still some ninjas who can use large-scale ninjutsu to destroy a country of this size. Not to mention others, almost all of them can do it, the two tailed beasts.

Mifune nodded: "This matter will definitely put everyone in the surrounding small countries at risk. If the investigation fails, I hope the seniors can help and catch the murderer."

Masahiko once again looked upright: "I have absolutely nothing to do with this matter!"

Mifune was stunned, and turned his head to shout: "Lijiao, arrange a guest room. Senior has traveled a long way, and it's getting late. Please rest in peace, senior."

Masahiko was helpless, and others still didn't believe in his "righteousness": "Don't worry, I will help you investigate this matter as Jun Malu's reward for learning swordsmanship."

Mifune nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, senior."

Seeing the samurai named Lijiao come over after arranging the guest room, Masahiko suddenly remembered something again.

With a wave of his right hand, the human puppet Hanzo appeared in front of several people, and the light blue barrier around Hanzo had not been canceled by Masahiko.

"This is...Your Excellency Hanzo!" Mifune was startled, recalling the information about the Land of Rain, "He is no longer alive."

"Well, not only is he not alive, his body was also made into a human puppet, and now he is a poisonous person." Masahiko explained, "I remember you knew him, find someone to bury him, the Kingdom of Rain no longer has him position."

Mifune took a deep breath: "I see, senior."

Masahiko nodded, then froze for a moment.

"If I do this, when Yahiko comes to ask the neutral country of the Iron Country to join the Akatsuki organization, I will probably run into trouble..."

...

The next day, early morning.

Masahiko took the three children after breakfast, followed the guidance of a samurai, and came to an open field. Mifune stood quietly with a wooden knife in his hand, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"Senior, I need to test the child's sword skills first."

Masahiko turned his head: "Kimomaro, only use a bone knife, don't use other abilities."

Jun Ma Lu rushed forward full of fighting spirit, but Sanfuan was far from an opponent he could fight now, and Jun Ma Lu could hardly hold the bone blade in his hand just lightly with the wooden knife.

After trying a few tricks, Mifune's wooden sword strengthened, and Junmaro stumbled back to Masahiko's side.

"Is it just based on instinct? He still has a lot to learn."

Masahiko nodded: "So I will stay here for about three months. During this time, I will trouble you to find someone to teach him sword skills, Mifune."

"Three months, barely enough." Mifune responded: "Time is running out. Before Chongsuke returns, I will personally teach him some basics of swordsmanship."

Masahiko nodded in satisfaction, and patted Jun Malu on the shoulder: "Look carefully, study hard."

"is God!"

Junmalu learned basic sword skills with Mifune, and Masahiko instructed Bai and Xianglin to practice duel.

As time went by, Mifune's face became more and more tense, it wasn't because of what Junmaro had done, but because the samurai named Chongsuke didn't come back on time.

It wasn't until noon that Mifune breathed a sigh of relief when he received a report from the samurai that Chongsuke had finally returned.

Masahiko was also very curious about this matter, and asked the three children to practice by themselves, while he followed Mifune to meet the samurai named Chongsuke.

"Admiral Mifune, this is the young master of the other country. He was a hostage in this country before, so he escaped disaster." Chongsuke explained the reason for his late arrival, and glanced at Masahiko curiously, but did not take the initiative ask.

On the other hand, Masahiko looked at the young master of He Zhiguo mentioned by the samurai Chongsuke. He was a beautiful six or seven-year-old boy with two braids on his hair and crying pear blossoms like rain... a little boy.

At that time, Masahiko wanted to call Bai over so that the two of them could compare who looked better. Anyway, he thought Bai was slightly better.

Thinking about these things, Sanfu over there asked about the situation in the other country.

The samurai Shousuke shook his head and said: "There are no survivors. The other country does not seem to be destroyed by multiple ninjutsu, but more like it was instantly turned into ruins by a super-large-scale ninjutsu. The civilians have no chance of escape. It's not even like ninjutsu, it's like a natural disaster."

Mifune turned to Masahiko with a serious face.

Masahiko nodded thoughtfully: "Take me to have a look. There are no more than five ninjas in today's ninja world who can destroy the country with one ninjutsu. I... probably know who it is."
